Clinical Faculty Academy

The Clinical Faculty Academy is a training program for registered nurses serving or wish to serve in the role of adjunct clinical faculty. Through this program we develop qualified staff nurses for the role of clinical nurse educators in order to increase faculty workforce and expand and sustain enrollments in schools of nursing.

As a nurse educator you will train the next generation of nurses. Through the academy you will gain the knowledge and skills essential for success in the adjunct clinical faculty role, join a support network for clinical educators and build stronger connections between clinical practice sites and academic environments.
